Tall buildings rise daily
Slick towers unfailing
You walk proud beneath them
Shy sunrays don’t hit them
I’d like to say one thing
Perhaps it makes you think
About the poor fate of
Folks like you and their love

I’m disgusted with your small talk
I’m astonished with your cake walk
I’m misguided by your proud step
I’m constructed from your mishaps

Let’s cut through the vapor
It’s softer than paper
You walk safe behind it
Loud thunders don’t strike it
I’d like to do one thing
Perhaps it makes you think
How to leave this city
And live without pity

I’m disgusted with your small talk
I’m astonished with your cake walk
I’m misguided by your proud step
I’m constructed from your mishaps

Young flowers don’t grow here
Nobody sheds their tears
They’re moving down slowly
Not knowing they’re lonely
I’d like to save one thing
Perhaps a pair of wings
So I can fly freely
And keep my own feelings

I’m disgusted with your small talk
I’m astonished with your cake walk
I’m misguided by your proud step
I’m constructed from your mishaps
